2011 Maxima - dead battery...again, replaced battery at 35K, issue repeats

Hi, I love this maxima, except the dead battery issue is getting annoying.
Purchased new 3.5 SV premium / tech now 42K miles
Every few months, sometimes winter, sometimes summer, battery drains completely.
I've had AAA out several times, jumped it several times. I now resort to having a portable battery jumper with me....last time it was in the trunk and the battery was so dead the trunk lid would no open.
Dealer replaced battery at 35K. ...problem is back...
Seems to be a problem where the car is shut off, but seems likes accessories or something is still running or a phantom draw.
Will be bringing it back to the dealer again to see if they can spot the issue.
I have seen other posts on battery issues...anyone have a theory on what's going on with the battery drain issues?
